Changelog for HTTP-4000.0.10

Version 4004.0.9: release 2009-12-20
* Export headerMap from Network.HTTP.Headers
(suggested by David Leuschner.)
* Fix Network.TCP.{isTCPConnectedTo,isConnectedTo} to be useful.
* Always delay closing non-persistent connections until we reach EOF.
Delaying it until then is vital when reading the response out as a
lazy ByteString; all of the I/O may not have happened by the time we
were returning the HTTP response. Bug manifested itself occasionally
with larger responses. Courtesy of Valery Vorotyntsev; both untiring bug
hunt and fix.
* drop unused type argument from Network.Browser.BrowserEvent; needlessly general.
(patch provided by Daniel Wagner.)
Version 4004.0.8: release 2009-08-05
* Incorporated proxy setting lookup and parsing contribution
by Eric Kow; provided in Network.HTTP.Proxy
* Factor out HTTP Cookies and Auth handling into separate
modules Network.HTTP.Cookie, Network.HTTP.Auth
* new Network.Browser functionality for hooking up the
proxy detection code in Network.HTTP.Proxy:
setCheckForProxy :: Bool -> BrowserAction t ()
getCheckForProxy :: BrowserAction t Bool
If you do 'setCheckForProxy True' within a browser
session, the proxy-checking code will be called upon.
Use 'getCheckForProxy' to get the current setting for
this flag.
* Network.Browser: if HTTP Basic Auth is allowed and
server doesn't 401-challenge with an WWW-Authenticate:
header, simply assume / realm and proceed. Preferable
than failing, even if server is the wrong.
Version 4004.0.7: release 2009-05-22
* Minor release.
* Added
Network.TCP.openSocketStream :: (BufferType t)
=> String {-host-}
-> Socket
-> IO (HandleStream t)
for interfacing to pre-existing @Socket@s. Contributed and
suggested by <http://trac.haskell.org/http/ticket/7>.
Version 4004.0.6: release 2009-04-21; changes from 4004.0.5
* Network.Browser: use HTTP.HandleStream.sendHTTP_notify, not HTTP.sendHTTP_notify
when issuing requests. The latter runs the risk of undoing request normalization.
* Network.HTTP.Base.normalizeRequest: when normalizing proxy-bound requests,
insert a Host: header if none present. Set it to the destination server authority,
not the proxy.
* Network.Browser: don't fail on seeing invalid cookie values, but report them
as errors and continue.
Version 4004.0.5: release 2009-03-30; changes from 4004.0.4
* Get serious about comments and Haddock documentation.
* Cleaned up normalization of requests, fixing bugs and bringing together
previous disparate attempts at handling this.
* RequestMethod now supports custom verbs; use the (Custom String) constructor
* Beef up Network.HTTP.Base's support for normalizing requests and URIs:
* added splitRequestURI which divides a URI into two; the Authority portion
(as a String) and the input URI sans the authority portion. Useful when
wanting to split up a request's URI into its Host: and abs_path pieces.
* added normalizeRequest :: Bool -> Request ty -> Request ty, which
fixes up a requests URI path and Host: info depending on whether it is
destined for a proxy or not (controlled by the Bool.)
* moved defaultRequest, defaultRequest_, libUA from Network.Browser
to Network.HTTP.Base
* added mkRequest :: RequestMethod -> URI -> Bool -> Request ty
for constructing normalized&sane Request bases on top of which
you can add custom headers, body payload etc.
